Blue Westmoreland (?) Lion on a Nest

Westmoreland LionLookie, lookie, lookie.  Isn’t this spectacular?  Two Leos live in this household, so we appreciate the majestic lion.

I’ve recently bought a pair of Westmoreland lovebirds on a nest and have been trolling through Westmoreland (or alleged Westmoreland) pieces online.

During a recent trip to Cobourg I saw this pretty piece.  The store owner thinks that it is a reproduction.  There are strange scuff marks on the bottom, as if someone tried to erase ID marks.  Nonetheless I had to have it anyway as the colour is so pretty.

I want to determine its provenance, so nothing would do but to order a Westmoreland reference book! Westmoreland Lion (2) I use Abebooks to buy my used books.  My experience is that this site provides very reasonably priced books.

Anyway, in a couple of weeks I might know something more definite.  I will update if I find anything out.

Isn’t this such a pretty blue?  I bought this on spec a a couple weekends ago in Fenelon Falls.  We went antiquing on a gorgeous Saturday and picked up a few fun things.  I thought the colour was so pretty, and it was in great shape and only $12.  My daughter has recently added blue accents in her decorating repertoireand maybe she’ll like this.  She’s coming home for an Easter visit, with my grandbeagle, and I am hoping that she takes a few things home.  I need more space!

As it turns out it is not particularly old.  From what I have read it was likely made in the ’70s.  Still that is more than thirty years old – yikes!!!  Double yikes!!!  I’m vintage, in fact, way past vintage!

The company that made it is Mosser, the pattern is called Grape and Cable.  I gather Mosser is still in production in Cambridge, Ohio.  Here’s a link to their 2012 Retail catalogue.  Lots of pretty stuff!
